Teach Me to Love

All my life I've had to struggle to be free Though I see no end in sight I stand in line with men Who made a vow to never stop the fight And to trust that you can comprehend A loss you've never known Will take a love that I have searched for But love I cannot find alone There's no power but the power of the cross That can melt my hardened heart And show me all the pride and arrogance That tear our souls apart For injustice that you suffer And for our nation's shameful sin I humbly ask for your forgiveness We need to learn to love again Chorus: Lord, teach me to love Show me how to care for others Cause my soul to burn within For the fellowship of my brother Only You can break the chains That have held me for so long Lord, You're my hope, my only hope Teach me to love Chorus So daily I seek to know the Christ Who suffered for all men For in Him I find the courage To ask again and again Chorus
